30 The PCB Design Magazine • January 2015
2014 are positive harbingers for the PCB indus-
try, offering us insight into 2015 and beyond.
When times are tough, we find ways to inno-
vate. I believe that 2014 was a year in which
we continued to gain momentum, a year when
shelved ideas and projects were dusted off and
resumed. My view is that 2015 will be a year
of positive growth, maybe not swift and not
without bumps along the way, but growth
nonetheless.
What do you think about 2015? Do you dis-
agree, or see growth in other areas of our in-
dustry that I didn't mention? Tell me what you
think. Have a great new year!
